Background: Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is a new diagnostic technique used for the evaluation of the female pelvis. The objective of the present study was to study the role of TVS and to assess the diagnostic accuracy in gynecological disorders.Methods: Total number of 100 patients attending OPDs with various complaints was selected by random technique of the study.  All the patients have informed consent and thorough clinical examination including general, systemic and pelvic examination was conducted after taking a detailed history then the patients underwent TVS followed by one of the procedures like fractional curettage, dilatation and curettage and abdominal hysterectomy (with or without conservation of ovaries) or conservative management with regular follow up.Results: The sensitivity of TVS in diagnosing dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) and pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) was 100% and specificity was 85.1% and 95% respectively. For fibroids and ovarian mass diagnosis, sensitivity was 68.9% and 80.9% respectively and specificity was 100%. Diagnostic accuracy of clinical diagnosis was 70.0% whereas TVS had 94.0% of diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing various gynecological disorders.Conclusions: The final outcome is that TVS examination is an important non-invasive investigation, can be used as important diagnostic method in various gynecological disorders as it has got a high diagnostic accuracy.

Background: Dilatation and curettage has long been the diagnostic gold standard for abnormal uterine bleeding. However, even a trained gynecological curettes at best 70-80% of the endometrium. Hysteroscopy is gaining acceptability over other diagnostic technique like dilatation and curettage, hysterosalpingogram and ultrasound. The objective of this study is to find out the role of hysteroscopy in abnormal uterine bleeding and to compare hysteroscopy findings with histopathology.Methods: Fifty patients in perimenopausal age group with abnormal uterine bleeding attending JSS Medical College and Hospital Mysore, during the period 1999-2001 were studied by diagnostic hysteroscopy followed by dilatation and curettage.Results: Mean age of the study group was 44.3% years (±2.5 SD). Menorrhagia was the commonest symptom and was found in 68% of the patients. Diagnostic hysteroscopy identified 23 cases as Normal endometrium, 16 cases as endometrial hyperplasia, 3 cases as atrophic endometrium, 4 cases as endometrial polyp, 4 cases as fibroids. Compared with histopathological findings as definitive diagnosis, hysteroscopy correctly picked up 19 cases of (86.9%), normal endometrium, 12 cases of hyperplasia (75%), 3 cases of atrophic endometrium (100%), 4 cases of polyps (100%), and 4 cases of fibroid (100%).Conclusions: Hysteroscopy should be considered as a basic and essential diagnostic procedure in the diagnostic work up of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Background and Aim: Evaluation of uterine abnormalities is infertility core partto be assessed in impaired reproduction cases. Uterine abnormalities can be assessed by various radiological imaging modalities such as transvaginal sonography, hysterosalpingography and hysterosonography. The current study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of hysterosonography in diagnosis of uterine lesions by taking hysteroscopy as gold standard. Materials and Methods: This observation-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 108 reproductive-age women at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro during the period from January 2020 to June 2020.These women had uterine abnormalities such as recurrent pregnancy loss, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and clinically diagnosed lesions of intrauterine. All individuals underwent hysteroscopy evaluation.Global sensitivity analysis technique was used to calculate the bias-adjusted specificity and sensitivity of hysterosonography. Uterine abnormalities were assessed by hysteroscopy taking it as a gold standard. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results:The mean age of the women was 27.3 ± 5.63 with age range 20 to 34 years and parity ranged from 0 to 5. Out of 108 patients, 49 (45.4%) had positive findings of abnormal uterine lesions including myomas in 13 (12.3%), polyps 17 (15.7%), uterine septum 7 (6.4%) and intrauterine adhesions 12 (11.1%). Among all, forty-nine (45.4%) women had infertility, previous cesarean section 20 (19.1%), recurrent pregnancy loss 18 (16.6%), and menstrual disorders 21 (19.4%).Diagnostic accuracy of hysterosonography in terms of specificity, sensitivity, and Positive prediction value (PPV) was 94%, 77%, and 74% for uterine lesions respectively while taking hysteroscopy as a gold standard. Conclusion: The present study concluded that uterine lesions among reproductive-age women could be easily assessed with higher accuracy of hysterosonography. Based on the specificity and sensitivity of hysteroscopy as a gold standard for hysterosonography is the most reliable, safe and accurate diagnostic technique for uterine lesions.

Perinatal pathologies and foremost perinatal central nervous system injury are attended with delayed neurosomatic disorders frequently leading to disability. The success of realisation of individual compensation potential of every child depends on dynamics analysis of patient's condition on every survey stage, personalized choice of necessary and sufficient methods of polysystemic diseases correction. The contemporary view on ethiology and pathogenesis of main perinatal pathologies are presented in this review, main mechanisms of its development are also revealed. Recent non-invasive diagnostic technique allow to perform correction of vital signs and prevent cascade reactions of neuronal apoptosis. The sanogenetic importance of some therapeutic interventions (therapeutic hypothermia, erythropoietin, caffeine) is established in early neonatal period. The role of implementation of external factors causing epigenetic effects is clear: optimal nutrition, correction of intestinal microbiota, sensory and motional stimulation. The abilitation success depends largely on successive team activity of specialists and their collaboration with the family. Methods of multifactorial statistical analysis allow not only to prognosticate the outcomes of perinatal affection, but also to create effective mathematical models for personalized choice of facilitation measures.

The review analyzes the role of chronic inflammatory diseases in the induction of endothelial dysfunction as a factor in the acceleration of atherosclerotic changes in the cardiovascular system. The importance of non-invasive techniques for evaluating endothelial dysfunction to detect preclinical atherosclerotic changes in children and adolescents with rheumatic was discussed. It is postulated that the detection of early signs of endothelial dysfunction in children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases, along with traditional risk factors, should become an integral part of the strategy for preventing adverse cardiovascular events in subsequent age periods.

Introduction: The study emphasizes the significance of hydrosonography in prevention and early diagnostics of endometrial pathology. Objective: To express the significance of hydrosonography in relation to timely detection and treatment of premalignant and malignant endometrial disease. Method: Our study included 104 patients referred to transvaginal sonography, after which hydrosonography was recommended in order to obtain precise visualization of the endometrium because of suspected endometrial pathology. After hydrosonography, dilatation and curettage with endometrial biopsy were performed in all patients. Biopsy specimens were histologically analyzed. Results: The application of contrast sonography described in our research helped diagnose and timely treat as many as 30.8% of patients suffering from premalignant and malignant endometrial disease (23.2% of premalignant and 7.6% of malignant). Discomforts (bleeding and pelvic pain) occurred in 72.1% of patients, out of whom 43.3% had already undergone curettage once or more than once because of the same or similar symptoms, while 27.9% of cases presented for regular control, i.e. they were symptom free. The obtained Results clearly emphasized the significance of application of contrast sonohysterography as a Method for timely detection of endometrial pathology and its adequate treatment. Conclusion: The study shows that application of contrast sonohysterography before exploratory curettage significantly facilitates the use of invasive diagnostics and improves accuracy and validity of the obtained Results, especially in cases of endometrial focal changes; consequently, it is also possible to achieve positive cost - benefit effect.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a global disease affecting people of various ethnic origins and both genders. HCM is a genetic disorder with a wide range of symptoms, including the catastrophic presentation of sudden cardiac death. Proper diagnosis and treatment of this disorder can relieve symptoms and prolong life. Non-invasive imaging is essential in diagnosing HCM. We present a review to deliberate the potential use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in HCM assessment and also identify the risk factors entailed with risk stratification of HCM based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
